STORYLINE

A sobering look at the “Maras,” the heavily tattooed Central American gang that has modeled their violent lifestyle after that of the Bloods and Crips of Los Angeles. Striking fear into the hearts of the citizens of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, The Maras discuss their brotherhood and offer chilling insight into their savage world.

Featured Documentary

Given current events, any insight into the way in which Russia operates on the world stage is worth paying attention to, so the timing of Hunting the KGB Killers (Channel 4) feels apt. This is a rigorous and gripping documentary that tells the story of what happened to former KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned with one million times the lethal dose of polonium in London in 2006. It is all but certain that the highest levels of Russian government were involved, according to the British courts, which makes this film as alarming as it is fascinating.
